The Truth About Food Expiration Dates

Original Article: Yahoo! Shine

Eggs: If you keep eggs refrigerated, they are still fresh three to five weeks after you buy them.

Canned Food: Canned food is still fresh for a year. That's also what the expiration date will likely say. Some argue that canned food will be fine even after that date, and because canned food is vacuum-sealed, it doesn't require food dating at all.

Apples: An apple will stay crisp and fresh for three weeks if refrigerated, and if they are cooked and then frozen, they will be good for eight months.

Cereal: Ready-to-eat breakfast cereal can last in your pantry without going stale for six to 12 months. Even if you eat cereal after that, it might be stale, but you certainly won't get sick from it.

Meat: It's recommended that you eat meat three to five days after you buy it. Freezing meat keeps it fresh and nutrient-filled for up to two months or more.

Flood. Banjir. Bah.

Dear Politicians,
Can you guys please forget about politic even just for a day and work together to help the flood victims? The victims dont even care from which party you are from, they just want help (food, medicine, cloth, blankets etc)

Dear Malaysians,
Can you please be more concerned and caring to help the flood victims? Don't be too  selfish and ignorance. And please don't take advantage on the victims' situations. 

Dear Enforcement (JPJ, Police etc),
Can you guys be more considerate and just let go the NGOs or personal people who want to help the flood victims but they break the rules? eg: Trucks who carry overload relief goods, people without license drive to help people etc

Dear Media Socialist,
Can you please don't spread rumours about the flood? Put yourselves in the victims' shoes and feel what they are going trough now. Please don't be so negative!   

Regards,
Me
